The PS3 has come to an end, as publishers are now concentrated more on the newer consoles, PS4 and its successor, PS4 Pro. Today, let’s have a look back at the best PS3 games when it was still at its peak!
1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a guaranteed game in this list of best PS3 games. Back at the time when all shooters were all about World War II (WWII), Activision took a bold step: making a game about fictional future warfare. The move has been a smashing success. It became one of the best sold games for PS3, and were played widely, especially the first game in the series. This game is widely considered by many to be one of the best shooter games.
There are two modes, like usual, for this game. In single player mode, you play as various characters throughout an intense story about the struggle for power between big nations, and see that soldiers are just pawns in the play. You can also showcase your skills in multiplayer, where many people considered an innovation in the shooting genre. This game was the first to successfully implement the achievements and rewards system inside a match, making online matches more competitive and enjoyable to play. Many games have since then followed the same formula.
2. Uncharted series
Uncharted 4 is only available for PS4. However, its predecessors, from the first game to Uncharted 3, are more than enough to make this series one of the best PS3 games. Follow the footsteps of Nathan Drake, he protagonist, as he traveled to exotic locations around the world, finding new treasures and facing trials and hardships along the way. The great story, gameplay that makes full use of the environment, and an excellent soundtrack made the series unforgettable for players. There is a movie in the making, but it has not been smooth sailing so far.
3. Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V)
No need to say much about the inclusion of this game in this list of best PS3 games. GTA have been an established franchise for a long time already. That position is further cemented with the release of GTA V, which is still seeing an impressive growth after three years since release. Play offline with the story of three characters, all interconnected with each other, or online where you play against other players. Whichever mode you choose, you can do almost anything in the game, because it is an in-game open world.
4. God of War III
The God of War series is one of the best action games. The third installment is a nice way to send off the PS3. With its still button smashing and action-packed gameplay, you will be taken right from the very first moments. The visuals have also been enhanced significantly, making gameplay more enjoyable. Journey with Kratos once again in his quest for revenge against the Gods of Olympus.
5. Red Dead Redemption
You can hardly go wrong with the setting of the Wild West. However, Red Dead Redemption made it even better, implementing a deep story, great visuals and soundtracks, and of course, the shooting experience in the Wild West setting we all want. The first game is so successful and good, everyone demanded a second from Rockstar (also the publisher of GTA). True enough, there will be a Red Dead Redemption 2, coming in 2017!
